| - This review does not factor in customer service. I ordered takeout, but the staff seemed friendly and welcoming during my short wait time on food. I did not call ahead and was out in 7 minutes!
My order was simple and straight to the point since I was craving some pho. I was surprised that the options were very limited when it came to pho, because pho is in the name of the restaurant. I asked the server about which type of soup was the most popular and went with his recommendation, the "Beef Combination Noodle Soup."
Once home, I opened up my bag and found everything neatly separated. The broth was still boiling hot and had 3 beef balls thrown in. The broth was nice and clear, but was lacking richness. The taste of beef had a very small presence, the broth was dominated by ginger. Luckily, they provide hoisin sauce, chili sauce, soy sauce and limes for seasoning with your order.
The rice noodles were perfect. No complaints there. Bean sprouts, chopped chives, thinly sliced onion, chopped cilantro and basil leaves are provided as well. Very fresh.
The amount of meat provided is small, but no complaints about the quality. Everything has been cooked in advance with the exception of the rare steak cuts, but it all warms up and cooks a little more if thrown into the broth immediately.
This place is not worth driving across town for, but if you're in the area it's a great alternative to fast food. This will not be my last visit.
P.S. The menu is mostly Thai which is unexpected as most would assume it to be Vietnamese (myself included).
